The structure of the distribution Industries
• Definition of Distribution Physical movement of materials and goods - transportation
infrastructure
Transmission and manipulation of information
• Object and Primary Purpose Minimize logistics costs while delivering maximum customer
service
Minimize time-space friction & max speed

Transportation
• Transportation provides the movement of goods necessary in the supply chain.
• Five basic modes of transportation are: Airlines Motor carriers Pipelines Railroads Water carriers
![Page 14: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Transportation-Continued
• All transportation modes can be evaluated on these seven criteria:
Cost - charges for transportation Speed - time of transit Reliability - meeting schedules on time Capability - ability to transport various products Flexibility - door-to-door delivery Capacity - ability to carry amount of tons in trip Frequency - scheduling
![Page 15: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Transportation Continued
• Intermodal transportation
Using more than one mode of transportationPiggybackContainer On FlatCar
(COFC)Roll-On-Roll-Off (RO-
RO)
![Page 17: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Technology
• Technological innovations have impacted:
Speed Flexibility Reliability
in the distribution industry.
![Page 18: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Technology continued
• Three key elements of distribution systemsElectronic Data Interchange (EDI)- large
quantities of data sent electronically Bar Code Systems – each product item distinct
identity Distribution Centers – faster and frequent turn
over rate
![Page 19: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Technology continued• E-Commerce (EC)• Definition: Buying and selling goods and services
over the Internet. • Categories of EC
![Page 20: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Technology continued
• Methods of fulfilling EC orders
![Page 21: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Technology continued
• Benefits of EC Companies and publishers have a global presence, and the customer has global
choices and easy access to information.
Companies can improve competitiveness and quality of service by allowing access to their services anyplace, anytime. Companies can also monitor customers’ choices and requests electronically.
Supply chain response times are shortened.
Firms can substantially reduce transaction costs, which allows for price reductions or cost savings. Companies that provide purchasing and support services through the Web can save significant personnel costs.
EC levels the playing field for small companies that cannot afford the same infrastructure and marketing programs as their larger counterparts.

Case Analysis – Amazon. COM • Technology: Amazon. COM uses software to more
accurately forecast purchasing patterns by region, allowing it to give suppliers better information about delivery dates and volumes.
• Third Party Providers: Amazon. COM uses third-party logistics providers to transport the orders directly to their customers; they often send packages via Mail, UPS, FedEx, and Airborne Express.
• Transportation Time: 99% of the orders were shipped and delivered on time.
• Inventory Management: Seven huge distribution centers, keep inventory of more than 2.7 million products - key differences between Amazon. COM and its competitor.

Transnational Retailing
• Retailing is the final link in the production chain.
• Retailing has always had a predominantly domestic orientation.
• Some of the world’s largest retailers in terms of sales revenues continue to be entirely embedded in their domestic market.
![Page 31: Distribution Industry Making the Connections, Selling the Goods By Janetta Soup & Qiang Han Distribution Industry BY Janetta Soup & Qiang Han.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649cc05503460f94986c83/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Transnational Retailing

Transnational Retailing
• Motivations for Transnationalization of a Retail Firm’s Operation: Saturation of the domestic market Intensification of competition in the domestic market Regulatory constraints in the domestic market Perception of profitable opportunities overseas Desire to exploit a firm’s specific advantages in new markets
• Ways for retailers to Enter a Foreign Market: Build a new store Merge with or to acquire an existing firm in the target market Enter into a collaboration with a domestic firm within the target
market through licensing and franchising
